Can I rate any less a volume where borshch makes a grand appearance?

[Kulwinder Singh · Rating 3 out of 5]

Even though the story has become less fun now, I enjoyed the battle of patience between two experienced snipers.

This may be my favorite volume in the series. This was epic.

[Vanessa Marzog · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wir überqueren die Landesgrenze zu Russland und begegnen Vasilij, Svetlana, Sofia und dem Mekooyashi. Ich liebe den historischen Background vermischt mit der fiktiven Story von Golden Kamuy. Die Charaktere passen so gut dazu und entwickeln sich spannend weiter. Ogatas Absichten bleiben weiterhin im Dunkeln. Satoru Nodas Zeichenstil — insbesondere bei Naturszenen und Tieren — ist beeindruckend.

4.4/5.

I liked the sniper battle between Ogata and the russian, plus Ogata’s history with his brother. But i’m just waiting for Sugimoto and Asirpa to reunite tbh😭

[J · Rating 5 out of 5]

Not surprisingly, this one opens like the last closed with an adrenaline rush of violence. I love the way Satoru Noda sensei punctuates the abrupt violence with an almost placid sniper duel. Not many shots are fired, but the ones that are fired count. It’s more Liam Neeson in The Grey with the slow stalking attrition than Liam Neeson in Taken with the bullets and elbows flying. Against that we have more pasts revealed in flashback. And, yes, Ogata is the psychopath we thought he was. We get the most cultural and history lessons in this one since the early volumes, so it does break up the narrative flow. Still, the art, the adventure, and the anticipation for the next explosive volume, keep me championing Golden Kamuy as the best serial manga at bookstores today.

THIS WAS AMAZING!!!

Snipers stand off, Ogata's backstory (more of what we had learnt before), Sugimoto and Tanigaki vs cold, vkusno and pelmeni and lighthouse, the future epic prison break, Shiraishi going back and more and more.
also Sugimoto pissed on Koito. Very important and plot relevant.

Me ha gustado mucho este volumen hehee

Porque está dedicado a Ogata 😔 💞💞 vemos más de su pasado y se hace incapié en su capacidad para seguir un plan, que, aún no sabemos cuál es. Nos dejan claro que el va por su cuenta y nisiquiera es seguro que esté de parte de Kiroranke.

De este último también conocemos parte de su pasado y definimos más su carácter estoico, que contrasta con su afición a hacer explotar cosas.

Shiraishi también demuestra ser más listo de lo que quiere aparentar...¡Me encantan todos los contrastes en sus personalidades!

Mientras tanto, Sugimoto y el resto siguen buscando a Asirpa, y dan con la foto de Svetlana.

¡Tengo ganas de saber cómo se relacionarán todos estos personajes! Algo me dice que se va a liar pronto...

Ogata’s Tragic Backstory Part 2: Electric Boogaloo!! I’m always a weird mix of sad and terrified when his story is revealed. Goes to show neglect can really mess a person up for the rest of their life. I sometimes wonder how many walls he has built up in his mind and if he’ll ever let himself experience his emotions.

I really like the way all the different paths weave together, the little details that unite it all. I feel like I learn a lot about narrative structure while I’m reading this, alongside the fun historical elements, and on top of that this action story that’s also full of levity! It’s a really wonderfully composed series. The wintery scenes were also super cool to look at in this volume, the density of snow is hard to capture in art but it came across so well.

HELLO AGAIN MR. UNDERCUT!! I will give five stars to every volume with Ogata on the cover. And if in the end Ogata becomes despicable character....well...even now he is not actually kind character but look at everyone...

Talking about undercut, according to wikipedia undercut hairstyle was pretty famous back then among the poor and here I thought it was neo-nazi haircut in the west. Pardon me, I am only reader from developing country that doesn't have covid vaccines to fully protect every residents nearly seven times over.

Anyway, Ogata, Ogata, Ogata, what is his motivation, really, is he really a lynx that has no loyalty like everyone in this gorish manga.

[Zibbi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another good volume with more backstory on Kiroranke and Ogata! Ogata’s character keeps getting more intriguing—there’s clearly so much happening beneath the surface, and I like seeing his complexity unfold. The sniper battle was also well done.

I also appreciated seeing Shiraishi stay true to his promise to Sugimoto by protecting Asirpa. That loyalty really stands out, and as usual, there were plenty of moments that made me laugh out loud in this volume. This series is so delightfully unhinged! We’re heading into another side quest, and I’m really hoping it adds something meaningful to the main storyline as things progress.

[Alex Johnston · Rating 5 out of 5]

The blending of the Russian, Japanese, and Indigenous cultures and histories is so fucking good - and on top of that, the character work has gotten to such a powerful but subtle height. The characterization Ogata gets in this volume (as you might expect given he's on the cover) is one of the most powerful pieces of work Noda has done in the series thus far, adding incredible depth to a cruel and hollow man and letting the reader in without trying relying on melodrama to try and make him sympathetic or likeable. It's a masterclass.

[⋆ ࣪˖ ִֶָ sel ་༘࿐ · Rating 5 out of 5]

The tension between Vasily and Ogata is enough to make me come. THIS VOLUME SLAPS.

Especially that we get to see something about Ogata's backstory again. His empty eyes, empty smiles, and his empty straightened back. I can still remember his face when Yuusaku mentioned thei father on the hill. Damn. This wildcat sure is messed. And adding his brother's words echoing into him.

Looking forward to more!

Med orok/uilta-, ainu- og nivkh-folk i GK er det bare et spørsmål om tid før en villfaren same dukker opp, I just know it. Og i et museum på Hokkaido (jeg tror det er fengselsmuseet i Abashiri) har de stilt ut et samisk klesplagg, så konspirasjonsteoretikeren i meg brenner.

[Facundo Mosquera · Rating 5 out of 5]

Extrañaba mucho esta serie.

Este fue el tomo de Ogata. El duelo entre él y el ruso me pareció lo mejor del tomo. Su pasado también estuvo bueno. Ogata se me hace un personaje muy difícil de empatizar pero siempre que aparece las escenas se vuelven más entretenidas.

P.D.: Sos una mierda panini

[Michael Lieto · Rating 4 out of 5]

We're in kind of a dark patch in the story. There's still some terrific moments and I'm learning so much, but the deeper they go into Russia, the more I miss Hokkaido and the heart of the story. Maybe the big betrayal from a few volumes ago is still affecting me. This is still a really good volume.

[Sol]

Is it crazy to say that I think Ogata is one of the best, most interesting manga characters ever conceived of? He is so fascinating, so well-written, so multi-faceted, I love to watch Noda explore his psyche.

Ogata kills a beluga and Asirpa wants to meet Sofia.

[Rocío]

Relectura para volver a coger ritmo.

[Pavel R. Ocampo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Desde el enfrentamiento entre Ogata y el otro francotirador, hasta la introducción de otro personaje y un breve episodio protagonizado por el grupo de sugimoto, este tomo es muy bueno.

[Jenny Clark · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lots of interesting historical and cultural notes in this. I'm really enjoying the characters and the plot as well, this does so much so well.

[Nathan · Rating 5 out of 5]

The only person who I don't care for is Ogata. I hope he doesn't make it to the end of the story.

Ogata has far surpassed mere cat coding.
